Randy,
My first thought was gelled fuel but if it started with a warm block thats
probably not it.
My 240D would start at pretty much any temp down to freezing even without
glowplugs, it wasn't happy about it, it'd need to crank for longer than I liked
and it'd belch black smoke when it started but it did start...
So yeah, maybe its time to replace glowplugs and adjust the valves. Give it a
shot of isopropyl alcohol to sequester any water in the tank and maybe a shot
of anti-gel just in case.
Probably also a good time for new fuel filters and at least check the airfilter
too...

That's called a "loss leader" - something cheaper than anyone else (because
no one else wants to lose money) but will pull new customers in and while
they;re there they will buy stuff with a normal markup. It's usually a
common replacement part but not too expensive.
Grocery stores are famous for doing that. Lose money on one item that's
popular and make it up on the other stuff bought -
